  • Prep: hot shower
  • Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic Shaving Brush, Dandelion Green Handle, 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette Ball-end Tech K4 (1965)
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Leviathan - Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Leviathan - Aftershave Balm

Unfortunately my Leviathan balm seems to be almost gone, while I still have a significant amount of the soap. I use a single pump of balm for each use, and it does admittedly feel like a lot of balm but my skin dries out easily and that always felt like a good thing. Plus, would they design it so that a single pump is more than one intended use?
